Cancer Incense

CANCER

21st June - 23rd July

When the sun enters the sign of Cancer the year has reached its peak - summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It is a time to celebrate the nurturing aspects of Mother Nature, her fertility and abundance from which all life springs. Cancer is the sign of the nurturer, who thrives on the tender loving care she lavishes on those she loves. Love goes through the stomach and Cancerian love frequently takes on the shape of food. It is the sign of the crab, a creature that lives both, in the ocean and on land. Likewise, Cancer draws his inspiration from an oceanic source. Occasionally the subconscious mind washes treasures from the depth onto the shores of conscious awareness. Cancer is guided by intuition - the mind of the gut - and may even have psychic abilities. Like the crab, Cancer is very sensitive, but has learnt to hide the true depth of his feelings behind the thick amour of his shell. He often put up a cheery front that belies what goes on inside. Past hurts are bottled and stored for later use and reuse ad infinitum. Cancer does not forget - neither the good nor the bad. Cancer's weakness is his tendency to live in the past and hang on to old feelings long past their 'due' date. They can be emotionally manipulative and sometimes harbour a secret ambition to live their own dreams through their off spring or whoever else may be the recipient of their mothering. Too much of a good thing can be just too much and sometimes all their loving may be experienced as smothering - especially when there are strings attached. Cancer benefits from Jupiter who brightens their moody nature and gives charismatic vision to their caring activities.

Star Child Astrological Incense is potentised with our Magical Collections gathered from the respective parts of the Glastonbury Zodiac. The collections are made in accordance with the lunar cycle at the appropriate times of the year, to create an aroma that reflects the ambiance of each zodiacal sign. These Astrological Incense can be used to attune to the archetypes of the twelve astrological signs and to focus on the symbolism reflected in nature as the Sun travels along its path through the Zodiac.

Our blends contain purely natural substances such as fragrant herbs, flowers, resins, gums and wood chips that are infused with Pure Essential oils and Absolutes. The symbols assigned to each type of incense indicate the ethereal nature of the special collections added to the respective blends and thus provide a reference to their magical qualities.
